“We are very proud to be awarded the Pick-Up Truck of the Year award again for the fourth time. This is a testament that the Triton is indeed the best pick-up truck in the market. I am delighted that the Triton has continued to be a favorite among the motoring critics ” it is certainly a favorite among pick up buyers,” said Mr. Keizo Ono, Chief Executive Officer of Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia.

“While refined and civilized in the city, the Triton is as tough as a pick-up truck can be, thanks to Mitsubishi Motors’ unrivalled winning heritage in the Dakar Rally,” he added.
The recently facelifted Triton variants feature an extended cargo bed improving overall carrying capacity by 180 mm in length and 55 mm in depth. For the 4×4 models, a new RV meter, which is unique to the Triton’s interior, displays travel data such as range, average speed, fuel consumption and also a digital compass, barometer, altimeter and outer temperature.
